What is a Colle's Fracture?
CN: Fractures of the **Distal End of the Radius** (from breaking falls) are common and are referred to as Colle’s fracture. The **Styloid Process of the Ulna** is often also avulsed in this situation. Dinner Fork Deformity
74
What view point? 1-8

75
What is the most commonly fractured Carpal Bone? What is clinically significant about it? Is is often misdiagnosed?
Scaphoid CN: The Scaphoid is the most commonly fractured Carpal Bone, and is usually the result of trying to break a fall, often the fracture in not visible on a radiograph and therefore **misdiagnosed** as a severe sprain. The distal fragment of bone is susceptible to **avascular necrosis** since it is usually *separated from its blood supply.*
76
What carpal bones articulate with Radius?
Scaphoid Lunate Triquetrum - kind of - since it articulates with Articular Disc of Radiocarpal Joint (more with Ulna than Radius)
77
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? What nerve is affected? What part of hand affected? What is the treatment?
CN: The passage anterior to the Carpal Bones posterior to the Flexor Retinaculum is known as _the Carpal Tunnel_ and transmits the tendons of the Flexor Digitorum Profundus and Superficialis Ms. as well as the Flexor Carpi Radialis T. and Median N. If swelling of the tendons occurs the **Median N. can be compressed** resulting in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which produces parasthesia, anesthesia and pain. \*Numbness and Pain = Thumb to mid 4th Digit (Ring Finger)\*\* \*Treatment: Cut Transverse Carpal Ligament
78
What is Guyon's Canal Syndrome? What Nerve is affected? What part of hand is affected?
CN: The depression *between the Pisiform and Hamulus* of the Hamate is known as the _Ulnar Canal_ (Guyon Tunnel) and the **Ulnar N.** passes through this canal and is susceptible to compression, which manifests as loss of sensation and muscular weakness. \* Ring finger to Pinky area numb and weak

Anterior Aspect of Carpals 1. Scaphoid 2. Scaphoid Tubercle 3. Tubercle of the Trapezium 4. Trapezium 5. Trapezoid 6. Capitate 7. Hamulus of the Hamate 8. Hamate 9. Pisiform 10. Triquetrium 11. Lunate
80
What is a Boxer's Fracture?
CN: The **Head of the 5th Metacarpal** is susceptible to fracture when an individual punches something with a closed fist, this condition is sometimes referred to as “Boxer’s Fracture.” The end of the 5th metacarpals takes the force of impact and **breaks at its neck** and angulates towards the palm creating a **dorsal bump.**

Metacarpals 1-5
82
What are these called?
Proximal Phalanges 1-5
83
What are these called?

86
What is a common result of closing fingers in doors? What is the clinical significance?
CN: **Fractures of the Distal Phalanges** are commonly the result of fingers being closed in a door, because of the intricate relationship between Phalanges and flexor tendons *_bone fragments must be realigned carefully to maintain function._*
87

A. What type of Joint? 1. ?
A. Glenohumeral Joint 1. Glenoid Labrum
90
When do Glenoid Labrum Tears typically occur?
CN: The Glenoid Labrum commonly tears in individuals **repeatedly throwing a ball**, usually in response to a _sudden contraction of the Biceps Brachii M._ and occurs in the **anterosuperior** part of the Labrum.
91
What Joint is this? 1-6? Is Ulna part of this joint?
Radiocarpal Joint 1. Radius 2. Ulna 3. Articular Disc 4. Scafoid 5. Lunate 6. Triquetrum Ulna not really a part of joint since articular disc blocks it from contact with carpals
